Very worrying isn't it. I thought VM would start spending money now it supposedly had deeper pockets. It's scrimping more, not investing in new channels, bills are going up and their catchphrase is "on netflix for only 5.99!!!"

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

How is it scrimping dear chap as it paid a lot out for BT Sports to go onto the XL pack and that's something Sky certainly ain't going to do.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

very good point Den much better having BT sports in XL than a pay extra channel

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

To be honest Dave I have BT included with my BB and quite frankly hardly watch it , I certainly wouldn't pay to subscribe.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

How is:
1. Launching all the above channels
2. Buying Smallworld
3. Buying 50% of All3Media (Skins, Hollyoaks, Towie, Undercover Boss)
4. Upgrading network to 150 Mb
5. Being Official Partner of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
Scrimping?


I can't see it myself, and I'm not pretending VM is perfect.

VM lost content leadership of the on-demand content market when it was independent. LGI needs to regain the lead in this area.

Been told there's a big behind closed doors meeting happening this week, no-one knows what it's about yet but source thinks it has something to do with tv side of things, possibly talks withTivo for new box?
I'll update you all when i find out/if my source finds out.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Personally l would like a six tuner TiVo and a bigger memory as we have to pick and choose what we can record many times over.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

the box with 17 tuners is no good if it has no content to show on it :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

With such a big overhaul of the Tivo, it would make sense for VM to think about 4K capabilities too.

No point in increasing capacity and then having to do it again for 4K.
They may already have this in mind ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I just want an LCD display on the thing.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Well that depends on each persons differing opinions.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

a contour box would be good !!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2

I agree den but ESPN has been in XL for free for many years now and our bills have been going up. It's still a great deal and we are very lucky but bills keep going up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

But won't cloud recording make the amount of tuners a moot point ?
